I just heard the bad news on MLB Network. He was 84.
On a personal note, I had the pleasure of talking to him on several occasions. He was a great teammate. He had a huge impact on the current Cardinal pitchers.
Just look at his 1968 stat line: 22-9, 1.12 ERA. How did anyone beat this guy that season? They lowered the mound from 15" to 10" pretty much because of this guy.
Rest in Peace, Sir.
